Default What do I do

I have a 2014 street glide special. I changed out my headers, pipes, and intake. My bike is burning a lot more fuel and you can smell it. Is that normal, and how can I lean out the fuel?

Not normal. You need a good tuner and/or a dyno tune.

It should. You didn't say you did a tuner along with the other mods so I just guessed wrong. Now all you need to do is get the correct map for it.

Thats a piece of information that you did not include in the original question.

I don't use the FP3, (I use Mastertune) but I can only assume it has some sort of auto-tuning capability.
Have you tried auto-tune? Are you sure your O2 sensors are working correctly (for feedback) ?

good luck,

T.(we always need more info, not less)

Does your new pipes have your old 02 sensors in them (they should)?
Did you auto tune or pick a map from the FP3 app (pipes/intake changes used)?
When you buy and install the FP3 the manual that comes with it describes what to do or you can u-tube it.
As the FP3 marries to just one VIN it should have been a new one and come with a manual.
Also when you do the auto tune it will run like crap when you start out in the morning (manual/U-tube mention it).
Another side note the FP3 seams to have allot of capabilities not covered in the basic set up and run portion of the manual.
I have not fully explored all of its capabilities of the FP3 yet...
